Patient Monitoring Using Bioimpedance Signal
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents the development of prototype system for measurement of vital functions using the transthoracic bioimpedance. The measurement of the bioimpedance is a non-invasive method providing the information about the body composition, hearth rate, blood flow, breathing etc. The design and realization of a simple four electrode system have been done. The device is designed as a combination of a signal generator with stabilized current output and a measuring amplifier based on the AD620 amplifier. The output signal includes information about the basic vital signs and could be used as a part of telemonitoring system for the elderly and persons after the organs failure. The device will be used for research and educational purposes in the Smart Home facility at the Czech Technical University in Prague.

Comparative Analysis of Multisine and Binary Excitation Signals for Human Body Analysis
Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a potential field and clinical method for evaluating fat percentage and body mass. Multi-frequency bioimpedance monitoring methodology used for the analysis purpose is a widely used method to estimate body composition. The multifrequency bioimpedance analysis using network analyzer is a relatively quick, simple and non-invasive technique to measure body compositio...
متن کاملBioimpedance Alerts from Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices: Observational Study of Diagnostic Relevance and Clinical Outcomes
BACKGROUND The use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices is expanding in the treatment of heart failure. Most of the current devices are equipped with remote monitoring functions, including bioimpedance for fluid status monitoring. The question remains whether bioimpedance measurements positively impact clinical outcome. OBJECTIV...
متن کاملIncremental spinal anaesthesia for elective Caesarean section in a patient with Eisenmenger's syndrome.
We describe a new approach to anaesthesia for elective Caesarean section in a woman with Eisenmenger's syndrome. Incremental regional anaesthesia was performed using a microspinal catheter and haemodynamic monitoring included transthoracic bioimpedance cardiography. This approach allowed the disadvantages of general anaesthesia and invasive cardiac output monitoring to be avoided.
متن کاملDetecting Heart Failure Decompensation by Measuring Transthoracic Bioimpedance in the Outpatient Setting: Rationale and Design of the SENTINEL-HF Study
BACKGROUND Recurrent hospital admissions are common among patients admitted for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), but identification of patients at risk for rehospitalization remains challenging. Contemporary heart failure (HF) management programs have shown modest ability to reduce readmissions, partly because they monitor signs or symptoms of HF worsening that appear late during decom...

Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems operate online and test different materials using ultrasonic guided waves and piezoelectric smart materials. These systems are permanently installed on the structures and display information on the monitor screen. The user informs the engineers of the existing damage after observing signal loss which appears after damage is caused. In this paper health...
